How to plan a classroom Valentine party
What makes a fun and memorable Valentine's Day party?
The best way to do a class party is by dividing up the class into smaller groups. Each group should rotate between stations. Typically, 4-5 students in each group is a good number, but it can be more depending on how much time you have.
Here's some station ideas you should have at your Valentines party:
- Valentine game
- Valentine's Day craft
- Valentine's Day snack or treat
- Read one of these cute Valentine books
- Pass out classroom Valentines
If you spend around 10 minutes at each of these stations, you easily have an hour party planned for you.
